2. Apportionment. I am extending the automatic apportionment specified
in section 2 of OMB
Bulletin No. 99-07 to October 29, 1999. The portion of the year covered is now 7.9 percent.

The continuing resolution extension includes a provision clarifying the authority of agencies
to both do the work necessary to issue mandatory payments due on or about November
1st and to make the payments.

If you can justify amounts greater than the amount automatically apportioned, please submit
a written request for apportionment.
